It's had a couple of tries over the past few years, and always given up half way through: OFS (Object Filing System from Cairo - IIRC, the code name for Win95?)

Please help me with my Linksys router...

elzoejam

Hello! Please bear with me, as I am not really computer savvy. Unfortunatly, neither Linksy's or earthlink support seems to be either. I have two computers networked together. My secondary computer connects just fine, but my main computer will not.

Blocking access to internet on VPN

HawkBoy

Hi, I have VPN set up on an XP pro machine. Everything works fine (although it took a loooooong time for it to get that way ). The problem is that whenever I connect to the VPN, my client machine starts using the Host's internet connection instead of its own.

videocard problem (still)

NoviceBill

Still having trouble booting my Compaq after I install the drivers for the videocard (or let Windows 2000 install them for me); original post was #143271. Sampson suggested I ensure that the BIOS specifies a boot default to AGP (not PCI).

Small problem with icons on taskbar

thymios

Well the problem is no exactly a problem since it's not serious at all but it's a bit irritating. Every time i restart my PC the icons on the taskbar area of my computer are automatically hidden. So i go and select the icons i want active and the ones that i want inactive from the startmenu properties.
